This shortlist offers a tantalising glimpse into a parallel world in which anime fans controlled the academy. The yang to the ying of our all-but-inevitable Oscars, if you will.

How cute that they god nominated along with Mega shinkai domination movie.
Bad for them that it is already decided who will win. |

And what it's like for a less corrupted Academy in a country where the HIT mainstream-audience films still constitute the Best Picture considerations-- Ah, I remember the days, nine years ago, when we had five nominations, and we rooted for what real movie would win the award over here.

I enjoyed Shin Godzilla much more than I expected. Who knew it would be a satire of Japanese politics and bureaucracy. I found those aspects of the movie much more enjoyable than the battles with Godzilla itself, though a few of those are pretty impressive. Ishihara was a bit unbelievable as a Japanese-American US government official, but she still lit up the screen whenever she appeared.
I can't say I liked the Chihayafuru movies all that much. It was hard to fit all the content into an hour and a half each. Hirose looked nice in a kimono but wasn't as compelling as the anime Chihaya. The supporting cast got short shrift, I'm afraid, especially the classics-loving Kana-chan who was one of my favorite characters in the anime. |
